I don't really go to fashion parties; they're not my scene.

Everything about acting drives me and gives me the need to really try it. It's an evolution - doing the same thing for 12 years is kind of a chunk. Anyone would be up for a little bit of a change. It is so rewarding to do a movie, and so enjoyable. It's hard work, but really wonderful.

To be supportive of myself, I have to go with what I want to do. I started acting and I was so mesmerized.

It will appeal to girls who are confident and have a strong personal expression of style and identity in the way that they dress and what this says about themselves.

Being such a tomboy growing up, that was one thing that changed me as a person, as well. It broadened me, like me cracking myself open in a certain way.

I can't do modeling disconnected. And I thought, "What do I like? What do I love about modeling?" And what I love is that it's such a creative process, with a bunch of people, and I wanted that more, which is how the acting thing came about.

Well, I suppose I've never really had a lifestyle that needs upkeep. I don't get cabs; I'm on the Tube with my Oyster card.
